Hey what does the Self test do exactly.

go to the mode menu and press alpha S

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem.

IIRC, that performs the entire self-test, which clears all memory...

It doesn't actually appear to do anything... It does clear the RAM, but I can't see [find] anything else that it does.

Well, it probably checks the integrity of the RAM.

well its just a while guess here but goin on the whole it checks the ram idea. I would say the numbers represent 1 byte of ram. And so there would be about 2400000. I think.

Well, this has actually been known for several years. At least since I started on this site, and that was at least a year ago (check my upload history). As for me, the numbers just randomize whenever I try to do it. They don't do anything else but display randomly for me. Anyway, I thnk it's a feature that TI uses if you send in your calc because it's completely screwy and still covered in the warranty.
